  • Creed III is Basically Live-Action Naruto

    Creed III is Basically Live-Action Naruto

    This is it, folks. Six Rocky films and two Creeds later, we’re finally at the last movie. Feels like I should get a championship belt for getting here… Like Creed II, I didn’t know much about III going into it. I remember hearing in some interviews forever ago that Michael B.
